Crab-Stuffed Cucumber Cups

Ingredients

• 1 medium Long English Cucumber
• 1 cup fresh crab meat, (or well-drained canned)
• 1/2 medium avocado (peeled, pitted and finely diced, toss with 1 tsp lemon juice to prevent browning)

• 2 tsp jalapeño pepper (finely minced)
• 2 tsp finely chopped cilantro (plus more for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, (or vegan mayonnaise substitute)
• sea salt and pepper to taste

1. 1

   Slice cucumber into rounds 3/4 inch thick. Remove some of the seeds with a small melon baller, leaving the base intact. Don't scoop all the way through.

2. 2

   In a small bow, gently combine the remaining ingredients.

3. 3

   Fill cucumber cups with the crab mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.

4. 4

   Put any remaining crab salad dip in a small bowl to serve with crackers.
